TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the technical field of measurement, particularly relates to the technical field of analytical chemistry, and more particularly relates to a spectral-potentiometric-thermometric multi-dimensional titration analysis instrument and titration method thereof.

BACKGROUND

In titration chemical analysis, the change and metering of the material structure in the reaction solution are extremely important basis in chemical analysis. It is an important part widely used in chemical analysis that different measurement methods are used for same measurement objects to obtain different measurement data, and the data are compared to provide analysis data of different physical quantities for the change process of the material structure in the chemical reaction.

Potentiometric titration is to insert a measurement electrode into the solution to be measured, form a galvanic cell with the material to be measured, characterize the change of the material structure in the reaction solution by measuring the change of potential, and identify the progress of the chemical reaction, and has the disadvantages of electrode passivation and diaphragm blockage. As an analysis measurement method, the thermometric titration technique uses a temperature sensor to sense the temperature change in the titration solution system, wherein a thermistor is usually used as a sensing element of the temperature sensor, when the temperature of the reaction system changes slightly, the resistance value changes, has the characteristics of no need of contacting solution when measuring resistance, one electrode suitable for various types of titration, fast measurement, high resolution, simple operation, accurate result and convenient maintenance of temperature sensing system, and has the disadvantage of being not suitable for complex system measurement. Spectral titration is a non-destructive measurement method for analyzing the progress of reaction by analyzing the change of visible light signals passing through the solution, has the advantages of fast response speed, wide measurement range, simple operation and accurate structure, and has the disadvantages of only characterizing the structure change of coloring material and identifying coloring chemical reaction.

At present, the titration analysis techniques at home and abroad are to form a set of instrument separately by means of the thermometric titration method, spectral titration method and electrochemical titration method, and cannot provide synchronous measurement results for the same chemical reaction process, and cannot conduct comparison on synchronous data of different measurement results. However, such data comparison based on same measurement conditions is important for the characterization analysis of material structures. Each of the three methods has advantages and disadvantages, and it is an improvement in the analysis industry to integrate the three methods into a unified measurement technique. Previously, due to technical reasons, no instrument has the ability to simultaneously measure thermometric, visible-light spectral and electrochemical titration data and can meet the requirements of obtaining simultaneous measurement data of different methods in chemical analysis, so that only separate experiments can be used to determine parameters separately, having the defects as follows: 1) due to non-uniform objects under measurement, the matrix and measurement conditions of multiple experiments are different in separate experiments, and then the data of multiple chemical reactions are different, so that the obtained chemical reaction data may have errors when performing comparison analysis based on different experimental data; 2) fewer samples cannot meet the requirements of samples of multiple separate experiments, and multiple separate experiments also add the experimental steps, prolong the experimental time and affect the experimental process.

Therefore, the problem to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art is how to develop a spectral-potentiometric-thermometric multi-dimensional titration analysis instrument capable of providing synchronous measurement results of multiple titration modes for the same chemical reaction process and a usage method thereof.

SUMMARY

In view of this, with respect to problems existing in the prior art, an object of the present invention is to provide a spectral-potentiometric-thermometric multi-dimensional titration analysis instrument capable of providing synchronous measurement results for the same chemical reaction process, which can meet the simultaneous measurement requirements of different analysis methods in chemical analysis, improve the measurement precision of different measurement methods, effectively reduce the workload of multiple separate experiments, and achieve synchronous measurement for the same analysis object and different analysis methods.

To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A spectral-potentiometric-thermometric multi-dimensional titration analysis instrument, comprising a reagent control system, a titration measurement system and a data processing system, the reagent control system being connected with the data processing system by the titration measurement system, wherein

the reagent control system comprises a reagent compartment and a measurement compartment, the reagent compartment being in communication with the measurement compartment by a reagent pipeline;

the titration measurement system comprises a spectral titration measurement device, a thermometric titration measurement device and a potentiometric titration measurement device, the spectral titration measurement device, the thermometric titration measurement device and the potentiometric titration measurement device being arranged in parallel inside the measurement compartment; and

the data processing system comprises a measurement signal conversion and calculation device, the measurement signal conversion and calculation device being connected with the spectral titration measurement device, the thermometric titration measurement device and the potentiometric titration measurement device respectively by signals.

It is worth noting that at least one of the measurement compartments is in communication with at least one of the reagent compartments, illustratively, in some cases, one of the measurement compartments is in communication with a plurality of reagent compartments; and in other cases, the plurality of measurement compartments are in communication with one of the reagent compartments.

In titration chemical analysis, the change and metering of the material structure in the reaction solution are basis in chemical analysis, while spectral titration, thermometric titration and potentiometric titration provide structural characteristic information for the chemical reaction and change of material structure therein using different physical quantities.

Considering that the change of the material structure in the chemical reaction is often shown as the color change of the reaction solution, in the process of spectral titration, with the continuous addition of titrant and the progress of reaction, the material structure in the chemical reaction changes continuously. Different structures have different absorption capacities for different wavelengths of visible-light spectra, resulting in corresponding changes in the color of the reaction solution. At this time, the change conditions are identified by different parameters and derived parameters, and the chemical reaction and change of material structure therein and change process may be identified and/or characterized by titration curves.

The potentiometric titration method is to characterize the chemical reaction according to the change of the electrochemical potential of different structures of material in the reaction solution. In the process of potentiometric titration, with the continuous addition of titrant, the structure of material participating in the chemical reaction changes in the reaction process, and the electrode potential Es of the structure changes continuously, when the electrode potential undergoes a predetermined jump, the titration end-point is reached. At this time, different parameters and derived parameters are used to identify change conditions and/or characterize the chemical reaction and change of material structure therein and change process.

Meanwhile, considering that some chemical reactions may be accompanied by heat absorption and heat release, this change in temperature is called enthalpy change (ΔH), the principle formula thereof is ΔH=ΔG+TΔS, where ΔG represents the variation of free energy, T represents the temperature of reaction system, and ΔS represents the variation of enthalpy. Therefore, as the thermometric titration reaction occurs, heat is released into the environment or absorbed from the environment, thus the temperature of the solution rises or falls. At this time, the temperature can be used as a measurement parameter to identify and/or characterize the chemical reaction and change of material structure therein and change process.

Therefore, when using the spectral titration technique, the potentiometric titration technique and the thermometric titration technique to simultaneously measure the same reaction process in the same measurement environment and state, the potentiometric titration technique and the thermometric titration technique, as mature chemical analysis and measurement techniques, may not reduce the precision and accuracy of measurement made by separate instruments theoretically; and the spectral titration technique, as a new invention technique of the inventor, is applied to verify the aforementioned mature techniques, and is newly applied in the aspects of data noise, data correction, measurement curve processing, and the like.

It is worth noting that the present invention integrates the three techniques into the same instrument, and has the advantage that instrument costs can be obviously reduced since the reagent system and data processing device are shared structurally as compared with a separate instrument of the existing single technique; by comparing data from three measurement methods simultaneously, multi-dimensional measurement data without relative error for same measurement objects can be obtained, by conducting comparison analysis on data from different measurement techniques, analysis results of different angles and different characterization parameters can be provided for the change process of the material structure in the chemical reaction, improving the precision of different measurement methods and the accuracy of the analysis method, effectively reducing the workload of titration analysis and obtaining more accurate measurement method and finding new material physical properties and structure data. The present invention provides a novel analytical technology platform for analytical chemistry by adopting the multi-dimensional synchronous analytical technology of the same reaction process.

In the prior art, the storage temperature of the titration reagent is substantially synchronized with the environment temperature. For some unstable, temperature-sensitive reagents, when the environment temperature changes, there may be changes such as crystallization, precipitation, gas generation and volatilization, causing the concentration and stability of the reagent solution to change, thus affecting the measurement results. In the present invention, by arranging the first temperature control device in the reagent compartment, the influence of the environment temperature on the storage reagent is reduced, the storage reagent is stored at required high temperature or low temperature constantly according to the settings, and the titration solution is heated or cooled in advance based on the needs of titration measurement, which is beneficial to chemical titration.

Moreover, taking into account that the interference in the air is unknown, for example, carbon dioxide, oxygen and the like are easy to chemically react with the titration reagent, which may cause a change in property of the titration reagent, the present invention provides a protective environment of filtered clean air and inert gas for the titration reagent by arranging the protective gas assembly and gas filtration assembly, thereby avoiding the influence of the reactive gas in the air on the titration reagent.

It is further worth noting that each of the titration solution storage container and the purifying agent container has a sealed container opening to avoid material exchange between the titration solution or the purifying agent and the outside, to ensure the stability of the storage environment of the titration solution and the purifying agent.

Preferably, the measurement compartment comprises a manipulator, a titration head, a titration control device, a reaction container, a stirring device, a cleaning device, a second temperature control device, a gas protection device and a feedback signal device,

wherein the titration head is connected with the measurement compartment wall by the manipulator, to achieve the relative displacement of the titration head and the reaction container;

It is worth noting that the side wall of the reaction container is provided with a solution overflow hole to guarantee that the reaction solution in the reaction container may not overflow from the top edge of the reaction container, and the outside of the reaction container is also provided with a waste solution collection tray to collect solution overflowing from the solution overflow hole, the waste solution collection tray comprising a waste solution outlet, the overflowing solution being discharged from the measurement compartment through the waste solution outlet.

Because of considering semi-automatization and batch use of multi-dimensional titration instruments, by integrating the manipulator with the titration head, the present invention achieves the relative displacement of the titration control device, the stirring device, the cleaning device and the gas protection device to the reaction container, thereby avoiding frequent manual operations conducted on the existing instrument while in use, then increasing the analysis speed and reducing the workload of analysts.

To control the titration reaction condition, in the present invention, the speed, type or time of addition of the titration reagent is adjusted by the titration control device of the measurement compartment; the uniformity of the reaction solution system is guaranteed by arranging the stirring device, thereby achieving accuracy of titration measurement; moreover, considering the automation of multi-dimensional titration instruments and the continuity of titration measurement, in the present invention, by connecting the cleaning device with the reaction container and the stirring device by a pipeline, cross-contamination of the reaction solution during multiple continuous measurement is avoided, creating measurement quality assurance conditions for continuous measurement.

Moreover, considering that during some titration reaction measurement, both the reaction temperature and reaction atmosphere have an important influence on the measurement result of the titration reaction, for example, the experiment to measure reducing sugar in food requires titration of the sample in a boiling state, the normal temperature reaction environment cannot meet the measurement condition requirements at this time; and for another example, in the process of measuring the peroxide value of grease, oxygen in the air can oxidize grease, affecting the measurement result of the peroxide value, at this time, the presence of inert atmosphere has an important influence on the accuracy of the reaction measurement result. Therefore, in the present invention, by arranging the second temperature control device and the gas protection device, it is guaranteed that the titration reaction environment can be adjusted according to different titration reactions, thus guaranteeing the wide applicability of multi-dimensional titration instruments and the accuracy of reaction measurement results.

In the process of multi-dimensional titration measurement, the temperature signal sensor, the potential signal sensor and the optical signal sensor can separately or synchronously detect the titration reaction in the reaction container. After the measurement periods of the three are synchronously set, measurement data of each metering point can be regarded as the measurement data of the same reaction system at the same moment in different measurement modes. At this time, by conducting comparison analysis on the measurement data of different metering points in the same measurement mode or the measurement data of the same metering point in different measurement modes, material structure characterization information of different physical and chemical parameters based on the same measurement condition can be obtained, thereby realizing the change characterization and metering analysis of the material structure in the reaction solution.

Preferably, the spectral-potentiometric-thermometric multi-dimensional titration analysis instrument for chemical reaction further comprises a data output display system, the data output display system being connected with the data processing system to synchronously output and display multi-dimensional titration parameters.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a usage method of the spectral-potentiometric-thermometric multi-dimensional titration analysis instrument.

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

In the prior art, time t or added reagent volume V is usually selected as a measurement reference. However, in actual titration analysis, researchers often need to conduct calculation on different characterization parameters such as chemometrics, chemical thermodynamics and reaction kinetics of the same chemical reaction. Thus, the selection of different metering parameters has a very important impact on the information collection and measurement data processing of titration analysis. Therefore, considering the existing titration analysis method and the change and metering of the material structure in the reaction solution, in the present invention, the selection of the metering parameters is specifically limited, but it should be understood that all other metering parameters and derived parameters thereof obtained by those skilled in the art without contributing creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
